So glad to see Mimi in another costume drama, and a historical drama no less! I’ve been following this show for a while, since it was rumoured to belong to Nini and Youku, so I’m happy to see it finally come into fruition too! Wishing the show a successful booting, and safe and smooth filming.
It’s so rare to get historical dramas centred around female figures so I’m really looking forward to this. I really hope this drama portrays Empress Feng with respect and gives her story the care and attention it deserves.
I think it might be the wrong link. It links to a New Year’s Eve post from Dilireba’s studio 😅. This was Harper’s Bazaar link I found; https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5278548988530016
The slow pace took some getting used to for me too but I think the show had some interesting ideas and was good looking. It has a slower pace than some shows due to set up and dialogue but it has a very good sense of world-building and character connection as a result.
No manipulation. Every drama has its own life. It’s good the other drama has 500,000 reservations. Hopefully,…
Those kind of rumors happen all the time. It even happened with Love and Crown. There were a few occasions where marketing accounts said it wouldn’t air. Huamei had 0 promotion other than a poster and I mean 0. I thought RoaTF had little promotion but Huamei has to be one of the least promoted shows that I’ve ever seen. I think in the end it only had 2 posters total. It didn’t even have a wrap-up special. And also even if the platform isn’t optimistic that isn’t the end. Sometimes the shows the platforms are optimistic about are not always the shows that do well. And vice versa.
Agreed, I didn't love the old one because why did they make SMY wear white when the majority of the time he's…
Because Huasen is ranked 4th billing and posters usually go by billing order. Even in this new poster, being 2nd and 3rd billing, both Peng Xiao Ran and Qiao Zhenyu are directly behind Gong Jun while Huasen is behind them. It may not make sense to overseas viewers who have a different understanding of popularity but the order of the posters makes sense if you consider they were created before the show aired and were designed to attract audiences. Huasen has been in a lot of roles recently but after Gong Jun, Qiao Zhenyu and Xiao Ran would have the most recognition and popularity before the show airs.
F magazine: If your fans are confused or hesitant, what would you tell them?
Xiao Ran: Dare to dream and accept the power of fate. When you start to be afraid, it’s right to rush forward. Obstacles are often pre-set by yourself. After stepping over, you will find a new world and see a new scene.
And it’s Harper’s Bazaar again too! The last few sets of photos have been really amazing. It seems like there’s a photoshoot for every type of fan😂 I’m glad she’s found a way to stay in the public eye that works for her too. It’s a good way to fill in the gaps while waiting for the next role.
Ke Jingzhen? I read the novel but don't remember that character. Who is it?
Yes, it would be that pairing. I learned about them because some netizens recommended a cameo pairing from Melody of a Golden Age and I was curious. 😂 I saw them mentioned again a few days ago and decided to go check them out again because it was said their storyline was moving but it looks tragic.

It might be how Google Translate translated the name but it should be Xie Xingzhi’s wife. I’ve not read the book but I’ve heard of this couple a few times in passing and so I’m curious as to who will play them, especially since it seems like they might be 30+ actors/actresses.

photoshoot for Harper's Bazaar (Hangzhou)
I wouldn’t worry. It just says public appearances but there’s probably lots going on behind the scenes.
